Many mild cases of Sleep Apnea can be treated by losing weight, changes in frequency and intensity in exercise, breath work, reducing alcohol consumption, stopping smoking, and more.
If a patient’s Sleep Apnea is significant enough that behavior changes alone are not effective, the typical treatment for Sleep Apnea is the use of a CPAP machine or similar device to help regulate a patient’s breathing while they sleep.
Available only with a prescription, CPAP machines have continued to evolve along with other medical technology, and have become easier than ever to use. Your provider will be able to recommend a CPAP device that is most compatible with your lifestyle, and will be covered by most insurance plans. Prescriptions for oral appliances are also available if applicable.
In very rare or extreme cases, or for patients who are unable or would prefer not to use a CPAP device or other device, Circle Medical providers can make an appropriate diagnosis and refer the patient out to an appropriate specialist.
Once you have chosen and started a treatment plan, your provider will prescribe a follow-up sleep study to confirm that your treatment is working.
† Circle Medical is able to offer low cost and high quality care from Primary Care Providers that are qualified to treat a wide range of conditions, and integrates your care into your overall health plan. Co-pay costs may range from covered, to $35, to not covered, and will depend on your individual insurance plan.

Most people find it far more comfortable to sleep in the comfort of their own bed in their own home, where your sleep patterns will much more closely match your typical sleep cycle than they would when you sleep in a clinic that is new to you. The device you will receive will also allow you to perform multiple studies, and all at a small fraction of the typical cost of an in-clinic sleep study.
General
For a detailed breakdown of what you need for your first appointment with Circle Medical, read the article below:
How to Prepare for Your First Appointment
Circle Medical has in-person clinics in California and is expanding its in-person presence across the US, but you can get high quality care via telemedicine video appointments in 25 states across the US.
To see what states are currently available, please start booking an appointment and the available states will show as options for you to select.
You do not need to book your initial appointment with a doctor. You can book your appointment with any provider that we have available. Our providers all work closely together to make sure that we are providing the same excellent standard of care to all patients regardless of which provider you book your appointment with.
Circle Medical is a primary care practice, which means that the only fee due to us is the cost of the appointment itself. We accept insurance, so your plan may pay some or all of the appointment fee. Circle does not charge any ongoing membership fees to use our platform.
If you are prescribed medications, you will pay for them when you pick them up at a pharmacy.
Insured
We contract with most PPO insurance plans. If you are a California Bay Area resident, we also work with a small number of HMO plans.
To verify if we work with your insurance, simply start booking an appointment online. You will be prompted to enter your insurance details and will receive eligibility results instantly as well as an estimate of your appointment cost prior to confirming your appointment.
Some PPO plans that we currently work with are:
Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, Health Net, Humana, and United Healthcare.
Our insured patients pay an average of $5-$50 per appointment.
Plans that we cannot work with are:
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide care for patients who have Medi-Cal or Medicaid insurance. This is because we are not licensed Medi-Cal or Medicaid providers, so we are not able to provide care, even if these patients choose to pay cash instead of use their insurance. If you have Medi-Cal or Medicaid, please do not book an appointment with us, as we will be unable to provide care even if you do not enter your insurance information.
Uninsured
We also offer a self-pay option at a flat rate of $100 per appointment.
Sleep studies are comprehensive exams that monitor you while you’re sleeping. These non-invasive examinations can diagnose a range of sleep disorders. Some conditions that sleep studies can diagnose include insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, periodic limb movement disorder, and any unusual behaviors you may exhibit during sleep.
It can sometimes be difficult to diagnose adults with sleep disorders because the symptoms may just be written off as feeling tired. This can prevent people from getting the help they need. It’s a good idea to speak with your healthcare provider if you experience symptoms like trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, frequent snoring, frequent waking, chronic fatigue, chronic tiredness, and any other consistent issues surrounding sleep. Your sleep is crucial to your physical and mental health, so it pays to be cautious when you’re not able to get quality sleep on a consistent basis.
If you approach your healthcare provider with concerns about your sleep, they may suggest an at-home sleep study. At-home sleep studies are non-invasive and very convenient. You can provide your healthcare provider with the data they need to diagnose a sleep disorder from the comfort of your own bed.
An at-home sleep study is sent to your home, and inside you’ll find a small device. This device will come with instructions and you’ll attach it to your body. This device will then monitor your sleep pattern, breathing, movements, and other indicators to determine if you’re suffering from a sleep disorder. Once the sleep study is complete, usually after two nights back-to-back, a board-certified sleep specialist will interpret your results and send those results to your healthcare provider who will look at the results and discuss them with you. If you have a sleep disorder, they can begin working on your treatment plan.
It’s now easier than ever to get help with your sleep disorder from the comfort of your home. Instead of having to go into an in-person provider and possibly stay overnight at a sleep clinic, you can now get online diagnoses through at-home sleep studies. The first step is finding an online healthcare provider, like Circle Medical. Circle Medical is a full-stack primary care clinic that offers both in-person and online care. If you’re interested in receiving online care for a sleep disorder, make an appointment today to get started.
